A SUGGESTION.

Thirty five thousand dollars remain
to be paid on the Mariner bonds against
Iowa county. OF this amount twenty
thousand dollars falls due for pay
ment this year, and fifteen thousand
next wear. These bonds bear seven
per cent. interest If the ordinary
course is pursued the county board
mt their annual session in November
will include in the tax levy twenty
thousand dollars for the payment of
the bonds falling due this year. This
would probably not make taxes higher
than they have been for several years
past. as the tax levy for each year has
included many thousands of dollars
for the payment of principal and inter
est on railroad bonds. But we under
stand that money can be borrowed
from the state at the rate of SIX per
cent. interest one per cent less than
the Mariner bonds bear. And in view
of the drouth of the last two seasons
and the consequent light crops, would
II not be well for the county to borrow
the sum of twenty thousand dollars
for. say two years, to pay the Mariner
bonds about to become due? The
taxpayers of the county would thereby
be afforded temporary relic, at least.
Next wear the remaining fifteen thous-
and of the Mariner bonds could be
paid: and the year following the twenty
thousand dollars proposed to be Dor
rowed from the state could doubtless
be paid with less inconvenience than
AT the present time The Democrat Is
in favor of the county liquidating its
Indebtedness, principal and interest,
as soon as possible without too severely
distressing the taxpayers. But we
think that the exigencies of the present
case demand and good Judgment would
dictate that the course marked out be
pursued. What do the people of the
county at large think of the PROPOSE

The American Protective Tariff
league has decided to cxpend 100000
within the next year sending out tracts
to convince the public that high tariff
taxation is Il great blessing, and that
the country will be ruined if a .. ju-
diciouS revision of the tariff is I'M
dertaken by any people except those
who are stcrnIy opposed to tariff re
duction. The expenditure of this
money will help the printers, if it
won't help the cause Of high taxation.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Ii is safe to say that this movement
on the part of the protected barons
will not advance their cause in the
least The spread of protective liter
allure will provoke a general discussion
of the tariff question; which will but
hasten the downfall of the spolation
policy i'll America. one hundred
thousand dollars worth of fallacious
tracts cannot overcome the sound
lessons in political economy taught in
the universities, colleges and higher
schools of the country. 1t is a rehec-
ton on the intelligence and good sense
of American citizens to suppose for
4 moment that after full and fair
airing of our present unjust and bur
densome tariff laws, they would do
otherwise than declare for a reduction
of import duties in the line of greater
commercial freedom. Tariff reduction
must come, and the frantic efforts OF
the benefciaries of the protective pol
icy will only hasten its coming.

The WISCONSIN State JourDal


Postmaster General Villas will not
return to Washington till after the
president and Mrs. Cleveland have left
his hospitable home, October 10; but
in the meantime he is by no means
idle. Since returning from his trip
for recreation in the forests of north
ern Wisconsin, several weeks ago. it
has been noticeable that he has kept
very closely at home. He volunteers
no explicit information in regard to
what he is doing in his Seclusion fur
Their than that he planned large
amount of work before leaving Wash
ington to be performed by him in the
quietude of his own home, where he is
comparatively free from interruption,
and therefore able to labor to the best
possible advantage. He has instructed
the chiefs of the various divisions of
the postal department TO submit to
him at an early day certain statements
for use in his annual report, and there
is little doubt but that he is now en-
gagged in preparing that report. He

TAX REDUCTION.

There must soon be a reduction OF
federal taxation The recent tempo
rary stringency in the money market
in Wall street, caused by an ever in
creasing surplus in the treasury,
should dispel any doubt upon this
point.
The friends Of revenue tariff VIII
seek to make this reduction by lower
ing import duties on many articles OF
necessity, and placing not a few, such
AZ coal, lumber and salt upon the free
list.
The supporters Of the policy Of pro
lection will resist any reduction OF
import duties; but will strive to reduce
the revenue by abolishing the tax on
manufactured tobacco and reducing
the taxes upon liquors.
The former plan Of tax reduction
will be supported by a very large ma
iority Of the democratic members OF
congress-; and it is reasonable to sup
pose that nearly all of the republican
members, together with small minor
ity of democrats, whose constituents
reap a rich bounty from high tariff
taxation, will support the latter.
Il is to be feared that among the
supporters of the latter plan will be
found Hon. Robert NJ. La Toilette, the
representative Of the third Wisconsin
district. This is where he Will be
found if he acts with his party and
follows in the path marked out by Mr..
Kelley, Mr.. Randall and other leaders
Of the protection forces in congress.
The Democrat believes that Mr.. La
Toilette has the good sense to know
that it would be wrong to vote for
free tobacco and whisky and against
lower prices for lumber, coal and other
articles of necessity; and it may be
that he will have the goodness of heart,
the nerve and courage to choose the
right and to do it. We fervently hope
that he may.
The Democrat is loath to believe
that a majority of his constituents, or
even majority Of his republican con
stitucnts would desire him to aid in
removing or materially lowering the
whisky and tobacco taxes while eXor-
bitant tariff taxes are maintained upon
the bare necessities of life.
The reduction of the one class of
taxes would enrich the great distillers,
the members of the whisky trusts, and
the larger manufacturers of tobacco;
while the reduction of the other class
would bring relief to the common
people of the land, and especially to
the people of the northwest, who during
the coming winter will require vast
quantities Of coal, clothing and other
articles, the prices of which are raised
abnormally by the robber tariff.
That great republican newspaper,
The Chicago Tribune, asks, "our west
ern congressman TO 90 to Washing
ton this winter determined to give
"their constituents relief from the
high tariff extortion which is blanket
ing the farms of the west with mort
cages, and Filing the United states
treasury with surplus which is de
ranging the money market to the
verge Of a panic"
The Democrat would address this re
quest directly to our representative;
and if he shall act as The Tribune
suggests his constituents will have
reason to be grateful to him all the
DAYS of their lives. VIII he do 1t!

In the case of Mary Stylow VS.. the
Wisconsin Odd Fellows Mutual Life
Insurance company, the supreme court
recently held that the fact that two
assessments on policy in that COM
pany held by the late T. Stylow, Water
town, were past due when he died, did
not invalidate the policy, The ground
for this decision was that by accepting
overdue assessments several times pre-
viouSly the company had waived the
right to declare the policy forfeited for
delay of more than sixty days in pay
ing assessments.

THE CONFERENCE.

The Democrat extends hearty wei
come to the ministerial and lay dele
gates of the West Wisconsin Confer
ence of the NJ f. Church, now as
sembled in this city. They are an
earnest lot of men. As representatives
of one branch of the Christian Church
they are here to review the work in
their particular field during the past
year and to form purposes and lay
plans for the future. The details of
their convention work may have but
little interest for the public in general;
but the cause in which they are labor
ing is of living, burning interest to
humanity. The doctrine which they
proclaim is the great civiliZing and
sanctifying force of the world. BY its
mighty power all real progress is &C
compIished, humanity enlightened and
ennobled and ''all who profess and call
themselves Christians drawn closer
to each other. The delegates here
present appear to be animated by an
earnest Jealous spirit, and their delib-
eratiOns are calm and dignified. Six
teen years ago many Of them met in
convention in this city. Since that
time the Methodist Church in Wiscon-
sin shows wonderful growth; and
this fact is strongly attested to by the
present large attendance of delegates
at the western conference. The spec
tacle is presented Of men of ability
and zeal deyOting their time and
talents TO proclaiming the story Of the
gospel, with but little hope of tempo
raj reward. They represent what is
real and true in life, and 50 far as
they set forth the grand central
truths of Christianity, offer the only
remedy for overcoming the social and
political evils of our age, and set up
the only standard by which the relations
of man to his fellowmen, between cap
ital and labor, between nation and ma
ton can be rightly adjusted Anarchy
and socialism. hate and jealousy, can
find no abiding foothold where the
pure gospel Of Christ is believed in
and preached. God speed the day
when all Christians, and each branch
of the Christian Church, may fully
realize the Importance of united
Christianity working to overcome the
evils that are in the world; and God
speed the ministers and laymen who
are now the guests of our city in their
efforts to carry forward their part in
the work of the worlds redemption.

The cigarette is coming to be generally
regarded as fell destroyer of the vitality
of our youth. Following is striking ex
empli6cation of its effects Thirty-eight
boys from nine to fifteen years of age, in
the habit of using tobacco were placed in
charge OF DIR G. Decaisne, From his re
port it appears that in % out of the 3S
cases the effects were very marked; %
suffered from disturbance of the blood,
palpitation of the heart, deficiencies Of
the digestion, sluggishness of intellect,
and a craving, more or less for alcoholic
stimulants In thirteen cases there was
an intermittent pulse; II suffered from
frequent bleeding from the nose; 10 com
planned of agitated sleep and night mare,
and had liberated mouths. Out of IL
induced to stop. 6 were completely re-
stored to natural health afte. six months;
the others suffered slightly for year.
Treatment with iron and quinine gave no
satisfactory results The fact was clearly
demonstrated that in order to attain the
enjoyment of normal health tobacco must
be let alone.
